In celebration of the feast of our patron saint, Martin of Tours, we invite parishioners to bring in new and gently used coats, warm clothing and blankets to the Community Building the weekend of November 7th and 8th, before and after the masses.
Martin of Tours is known for having shared his soldier’s cloak with a poor man, shivering in the cold, who was later revealed to Martin in a dream to be Jesus, holding his cloak, for “whatever you do to the least of my people, you do unto me.”
Items from the cloak drive will be distributed to the recipients of our parish Food Box Program.
